how do i upgrade the clutch on my tc?

 

You need to buy a clutch kit. ACT and Centerforce makes them for our cars. Simply purchase a clutch upgrade and go to a local shop and ask them to install the clutch (also ask how much it will cost). Most places charge $200-350 for install.

We're selling ACT kits here...(I reccommend the street clutch)

lol.. i know that, how do i do it myself

 

you're not smart enough to do it yourself if you are asking how to. pay someone to do it otherwise you're very close to breaking a lot of expensive stuff.

 

yah bro i wouldnt do it yourself its alot of work i help my bro do his civic an dit was tuff but like joe said i would go with act satge 1-2..my bro had a stage 2 in his hatch and it grab quick and hard...

 

i agree

 

However, if you ask enough questions and people take time to give you intelligent answers, then perhaps you will be able to do-it-yourself.

 

fine. get a transmission jack, lower the transmission, pull the parts out and replace it, then reassemble and remount the transmission.

tada!

and now tell you mechanic i said hello when he's fixing it.

 

That's funny stuff

 

Come on guys, give him a chance. Everyone has to start somewhere. Although I do suggest having a proffesional do the work, go buy youself a service manual and read up on how to change your clutch. Then you decide if you want to tackle that project. Matty-tC pretty much broke in down, but if you follow directions on the manual and triple check everything,you won't have to go back to a mechanic.

 

you cannot learn how to do things that specific from a forum unless there's a video and a very detailed how to.

people go to school to work on transmissions. it's not something you pick up off a thread on this forum...

 

Like A very detailed KAEON how too

I do agree if you don't know what your doing take it to a shop, Be that as it may when people come here to ask question don't give them smart answers. Matty-tC did you really have to say "your not smart enough" couldnt you simply say "I don't think its something you can handle yourself"? Mikek, Ill try to look into a clutch to do a DIY... We will see...

 

i don't understand.. i didn't mean for it to be abrasive i was just saying he's ignorant of a transmission's inner workings as far as real world, working with them first hand, experience.

does it help if i sugarcoat it?

a DIY would be great but that's quite a large burden to take if someone breaks their car, voids their drivetrain warranty, and blames you.

 

Matty,

That is alot better You seemed a little abrasive with your comments. As for the DIY normally on installs like that we will put a disclaimer up. If people want to blaim me or anyone else for a mistake they make while installing something like this oh well. Im ok with people blaiming me for things.

 

i would think disclaimers are for legally taking the blame away from you... but still if you have a step by step, and someone screws it up, or you miss 1 crucial point, they will blame you.

i think its a great thing don't get me wrong.. i just see some lesser mechanically inclined folks that aren't experienced with cars taking it on and breaking something very expensive.

 

Experience has to come from somewhere.

Old lesson: Humble yourself and ask knowledgeable people questions. Once you find the answer, you will become as smart as them about the question.

Those people who answer you may think your are stupid. But at least you become as smart as them on that particular question/answer.

So, ask people on forums. Perhaps someone can help you. If they can't, they can point you where to find the answer.

 

e-drama

 

DIY? simple.

Click on "Customize Car" and go over to "Transmission/Drivetrain" and then go to the desired clutch and click "Install." That's if you want to do it yourself, of course you can just save yourself some time by going over to where it says "Extreme Performance" and install the package but it doesn't have the same satisfaction.

Trust me, I've modded about some 40 cars ranging from Ford Foci all the way to the Nissan Skyline GT-R. It's easy.



However, I earnestly apologize for the sarcasm.
